Protecting forests in Kenya’s Chyulu Hills is helping children stay in school.
When the region was hit by severe drought, school dropout rates rose. Many families were forced to move in search of land that could support their lives and livelihoods. That’s when community leaders stepped up, using funds generated from protecting Chyulu’s forests to provide school scholarships.
Conservation International and Massai Wilderness Conservation Trust support this project which has paid school fees for nearly 4,000 children to date – ensuring children, their families, and entire communities thrive.
